Really though, it is not only possible to transform your body on a vegan diet it can bring you to levels you only dreamed possible. And you certainly don’t have to be a bodybuilder, either. Plant based diets give your body the fuel you need to perform without the extra fat, cholesterol, and other junk that slows you down.

How do I get enough protein, you ask? Easy! These common plant foods go beyond tofu and tempeh – try beans, broccoli, seitan, and quinoa. Another benefit? Dollars to donuts, they’re all far less expensive than animal proteins, too.
